GOODBYE DICK
It was forty years ago today.
Richard Nixon had to go away.
Hearings in the Senate it took,
Obstruction made him a crook.
President for a lot of years.
He resigned to lots of cheers.
Ever since the GOP's been mad,
Their guy's the one who went bad.
So evil they try to project,
on the one they don't elect.
